Senior Wellness

Active Living

Keep Active! The #1 way for a senior to prevent falls is to stay fit and be active every day. A good way to start is by using our exercise sheet (Click here to open) and practicing these movements! Try it with a chair as you watch TV, while you stand and cook at the countertop, or while brushing your teeth by the sink.

Other ways to keep active

Attend a community exercise program

Gather a group of friends together for a walking group

Contact your local YMCA, Strangway Center or gym and ask about discounted membership

Go outside in nice weather and explore the area

Ask your family to take you for a walk in the park or downtown

Take the stairs in your apartment building as opposed to the elevator (or, if you live up high, take the elevator up for half the ride and take the stairs for the rest)
